About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Apartment, Portree

Portree is the main town on the Isle of Skye and the Apartment overlooks, though slightly set back from the main town square.
If you are looking to be in the centre of the Island then you have come to the right place. This is a great location to base yourself from.
The Apartment has just been upgraded with a new fully integrated kitchen and bathroom and redecorated throughout.
You will see from the pictures that we have put our hearts in it.
There is free wifi throughout, and a smart TV in the living room as well as a multi fuel stove for those cold winter nights.
The view is out over the town square and across to the local mountain Ben Tianaviag. 5 minutes from the harbour, a seconds from a range of bars and restaurants in Portree you cannot go wrong.
All you need to live home from home.
Utilities include washer dryer, dishwasher, American fridge freezer, oven and ceramic hob.
Come and try it, we would love to have your feedback.

Lovely church property

The apartment itself was very attractive and very comfortable. However, instructions to get in were not sent beforehand, and once we were in, there were no written instructions about the WiFi password, for example, as well as the dryerwashing machine( which did not dry even

Nice place, right next to downtown

Comfortable, well-equipped flat next to the main square having restaurants, pubs, a bakery and grocer and gift shopping. We had a car and it was nice to have dedicated parking. Easy check in/out. I would stay here again and/or recommend to others.

Wonderful Welcome to the Highlands

We greatly enjoyed our stay at The Apartment in Portree! We were in town for a few days and it was wonderful to have a nice place to come back whenever needed. The location is fantastic and makes the whole town feel walkable. I would definitely try to stay here again for another trip to the Highlands.

This property was conveniently located in Portree. It was immaculately clean and well appointed. However, the directions to the property were terrible. There are 3 churches within 100m. This property is located in the rectory of St Columba's Scottish Episcopal Church

Absolutely superb!

Such a lovely residence, the Old Rectory has so much charm and is finished to such a high standard...if I could have shipped the bed home, I would have done...so luxurious! There was a few bits of maintenance to be completed but nothing to spoil the stay...HIGHLY recommend

Central location overlooking centre of Portree

We enjoyed the well appointed flat and received immediate assistance with a couple of snags from Ben and Pauline on the team. Location was excellent close to the centre of Portree and a great base for exploring the island.

Perfect apartment as a base for Hiking

Really nice apparment in a town with a large supermarket :)The location is not far from the hiking spots on skye and also the ferry to harris from Uig. The kitchen equiment was also everything you need for cooking. The parking spot infront of the apparment was also great.

Very convenient spot with everything!

We enjoyed our stay at this location. We were not able to connect to the internet, but that was ok -- there was service in town. The apartment has everything else -- pots, pans, washer and dryer -- all much appreciated. Outstanding location in Portree!

Good location

It is spacious and clean. It has everything you need. It is in the center of Portree. Disadvantage: the WIFI did not work. When I complained, they were very attentive, they even came to check it but it was not solved.

Great home base to explore Skye

The Apartment proved a great place to ground our exploration of the beautiful Isle of Skye. It is walking distance to all the shops and amenities of Portree but far enough from the Main Street to be quiet. The space is great for a family or 2 couples with room to stretch out and relax after a day exploring. The eat in kitchen was great for breakfast or if you decide to bring in dinner. I highly recommend.

Great Church apartment

We managed to get a replacement apartment when the original booking was cancelled by the owner. But what a treat we had with the apartment we chose as replacement. We couldn't be happier. All that we wanted in the apartment exceeded our expectations. There was all the utensils we needed to cook a hearty meal although we only used the basic kettle, glasses and refrigerator etc. We will definitely choose this if we ever come to Portree again. The weather took a nasty turn due to a cold snap so our second day was spent in the apartment or meandering the village. But we made the best of it. Thank you John for making the stay so enjoyable.

Unique and spacious accommodation, great location

Easy parking, a short walk to the square and around the corner to the Coop for food supplies. Clean and reasonably well supplied except only a part roll of paper towels and no instructions on trash removal. Could use a small bench to sit on to put on shoes in ground floor hall and some coat hooks upstairs inside the apt door opposite the sitting room door. Comfortable.

Perfect Portree Location

Overall, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated this property during our four night stay in Portree. Perfect location to explore many areas on the Isle Of Skye. Very convenient to restaurants, cafes and shops in the center of town. Nice walks around Portree as well. Clean, quiet and comfortable. There are stairs to the apartment but we knew this ahead of time. The only reason we are not rating five stars is because we had trouble checking in. We were not familiar with the heating system and couldn't figure out how to turn the heat and water heater on. No instructions to be found and it was very cold in the apartment. WiFi info was inaccurate. We had no issues contacting the property manager but it took about two hours for the heat to be resolved. WiFi was resolved promptly the next morning. It was stressful after travelling all day and could have been avoided by simply having instructions posted by the thermostat and accurate info for the WiFi. Regardless, the apartment was enjoyable and definitely met all of our needs. We loved MacKenzie's bakery. Co-op grocery short drive away.

Loved this apartment!

This is a beautiful apartment located above a church in a quiet corner just off the main square. Close to town and restaurants. Also close to buses and cab stand. The apartments was spacious, sunny, clean and beautifully decorated…a space of calm after a hectic day. We especially enjoyed the soaking tub after hiking and the full kitchen with washer/ dryer unit. The Wi-Fi and television service worked great. And it is well-insulated from sound. The high end soaps and hair care products were a nice touch and the towels were soft. We highly recommend this apartment for anyone visiting Portree.
